Maestro: Overview

Slash cost, increase flexibility, and reduce complexity of your existing file storage environment

Maestro FM6100 File-based data—spreadsheets, presentations, email, text documents, video, and audio files—constitute 80% of most enterprise data. As the number of storage devices proliferates to accommodate the explosion in unstructured information, companies are faced with rising capital expenditures as well as a multitude of problems associated with effectively managing storage across numerous heterogeneous devices. IT organizations need the flexibility to add or remove storage, migrate files, and respond to the needs of the business. The problem is often compounded by flat IT budgets and staffing levels and the demand for continuous information accessibility.

Attune Systems’ Maestro File Manager™ is a file virtualization appliance that solves these problems through four key features:

In-depth environmental reporting and analysis
Virtual namespace
Non-disruptive migration
Real-time policy management

Using Maestro, enterprises dramatically reduce file management complexity while increasing flexibility, slashing storage capital expenditures and operating costs. Systems administrators can easily migrate data, retire or add servers, consolidate data, implement storage tiering, and balance capacity and performance across Windows-based file servers and NAS devices. As a result, your enterprise can maximize file storage utilization, accessibility, performance, and cost effectiveness. By improving file storage and access, your business can also better comply with new government regulations for data retention and retrieval.

Discover — Analyze — Manage — Optimize

Attune Systems’ Maestro File Manager helps administrators discover, analyze, manage, and optimize their existing heterogeneous file storage resources—without impacting end-users.

Discover: Maestro automatically discovers file share resources and allows administrators to add them to a virtual namespace—insulating users and applications from the physical location of files.

Analyze: Maestro offers a centralized and powerful interface where systems administrators can analyze files and file storage resources—regardless of storage vendor—and produce detailed reports.

Manage: Maestro enables systems administrators to simplify and automate storage management across heterogeneous resources—without impacting users.

Optimize: Maestro is the ideal tool to optimize storage utilization, performance, and costs, while accommodating growth.

Companies can choose to implement Maestro in a gradual manner, incrementally deploying new, robust virtualization capabilities across their existing file server and NAS infrastructure.
